Harry Garside surged into the public consciousness at the Tokyo Olympics. He won a lightweight bronze boxing medal, Australia's first for 33 years, and now he's chasing gold at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

But he's not your average jock.

In this episode, Harry Garside and his mum Kate, tell Neil Mitchell why:

Fame is a blessing and a curse
He loves to wear dresses and pain his nail
Harry got into mischief as a kid
Kate's cancer diagnosis brought their family closer together
Withdrawn domestic violence charges drove Harry to an incredibly dark place
Writing poetry helps Harry make sense of it all
